Baby Registry???

At the urging of family and friends Stan and I have started to think about our baby registry. For to-be-parents, with no previous children, the baby registry is quite overwhelming. How much of this stuff do we really need? What brand is the best? What what really works? What really doesn't work? We haven't even been to the store yet and our heads are already spinning. When you start to think about it, holy cow babies sure need a lot of "stuff". This makes the wedding registry look like a piece of cake. I did join a mothers of multiples group so hopefully they will be able to impart some wisdom on the trials and tribulations of two!
